I am following the hon. Gentleman's remarks with great interest, and I am grateful to him for giving way so early in his speech. He appears to have changed tack slightly in his critique. For some months he has been saying that we should move faster in reducing the deficit. Is he now accepting that four years is the right time frame within which to halve it?
